Costco Wholesale, Target, Walmart, Take-Two Interactive Software, and GameStop are the five Toy stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Toy stocks are shares of small- or micro-capitalization companies that trade at low prices and typically see very light trading volume. Because they attract limited analyst coverage and have shallow liquidity, their prices can swing dramatically on relatively little buying or selling. Investors often view them as speculative or high-risk opportunities rather than core portfolio holdings. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Toy stocks within the last several days.
